A GENERAL SCANNING GUIDE

Reception of the frequencies covered by your scanner is mainly “line-of-sight.” This means you usually cannot hear stations that are beyond the horizon.

Ham Radio Frequencies

Ham radio operators often transmit emergency informa- tion when other means of communication break down. The following chart shows the frequencies this scanner re- ceives that Ham radio operators normally use:

Wavelength	Frequency
(meters)	(MHz)
10-meter	29.000–29.700
6-meter	50.000–54.000
2-meter	144.000–148.000
70-cm	420.000–450.000

Note: Your scanner cannot receive AM transmissions on these bands.
